Who wants Beta 4.22? Lua Available for DS/DC-14/16 & DC-24

[Esprit Model]

Please email me if you would like to test Beta 4.22 for 14-16-24 Radio Systems.

zb@espritmodel.com and in subject specify type of your radio (14,16, 24)

Zb/Jeti USA

New Features:
1. (Only DC-24): Model description (a “label” parameter) has been added to the Model – Basic Properties menu. The label is then shown while you browse the model list within the Model Selection menu. The label has an informative meaning and should be used to distinguish between similar models.
2. Lua is now available for DC/DS-14, DC/DS-16 and DC-24.
3. New functions and possibilities have been added to the Lua programming API (see the API description at http://www.jetimodel.com/en/DC-DS-24-Lua-API-1/.
• New functions: system.getSwitchInfo, io.readall
• Several function extensions and new options have been added to provide seamless compatibility between DC/DS-16 and DC-24.
4. Any Lua telemetry screen can be assigned to the top status bar (instead of default clock). See the Timers/Sensors – Main Screen menu.

Modifications:
1. Fixed heli and airplane gyro settings (Fine Tuning – Gyro Settings and Governor menus, a problem had appeared in V4.20 and was immediately solved by version 4.20.1).
2. Fixed Throttle Limiter function behavior if an expo value is non-zero.
3. Date in the Model Selection dialogue is now displayed correctly.
4. Sensor selection dialogues now contain sensor name together with parameter name, e. g. “MUI: Current [A]”.
5. Frequency response of the vario sound has been modified to better match high performance variometers.
6. Corrected behavior of telemetry alarms if a “silent” sound profile is selected.
7. Lua: Function system.getInputs("P3","P4") now returns correct values for both stick controls.
8. Lua: Function system.vibration() now behaves correctly and according to specification.
9. Lua: The top status bar now displays an informative text if Lua environment is not running (“lua: x”). Lua can be stopped for example in the Model Selection menu, Device Explorer menu or while you are creating a new model.
10. Lua for DC/DS-16 and DC/DS-14: Optimizations in the Lua core have been applied so that it now consumes less memory.
11. Lua for DC/DS-16 and DC/DS-14: A hard-limit has been set to limit the memory consumption of the applications. If the Lua environment exceeds 50kB, all scripts are killed.

Jaw on floor. Thank you!

One thing that's not clear - Is it compatible with integration's now like Brain2?

Thanks Jeti!

Wow. LUA on the DS-14. Damn you Jeti, now I really do want a Bump controller for my PowerLab!

Just received it and install on my DS14. Diablo edition, and everything seems to work normal, integration with Sprit Por
Just now that i got around the jeti I have to learn how to use LUA and were to download programs...

Very happy with the investment and change from my old TX.. (DX9).

Awesome

Anyone know og 4.22 solves the memory sharing violation problem, when using both FBL-integration and LUA apps?

Brain Dev on the MSH forum thought that it did (with his Brain2). I bet the beta's need to wring it out a bit, though. The 14/16 world will still only be able to use "simpler" apps, but the way I read the release the new firmware kills the app rather than the app killing the transmitter. A big improvement! Dan
